Hey Everyone.
I've been away for a while. I sure like the Homebuilt 2.0 thing but thats old news for you all now. Had a weird winter. Getting over a divorce. Tried to do some winter soaring but no go on account of bad snow plow.

Spring soaring season is slow to come to the North East but I paid for this little darlin' today. (picture below because I can't figure out how to put it here -x- ). I take delivery in about a week.:ban: I do believe she's a fine looking bird.

She's not a homebuilt but I'll be able to poke around her and I think she might keep me busy for a while. :gig:

For those of you who don't recognize the aircraft, it is a Schleicher Ka-6CR. It has a 15 meter span, a 31:1 L/D and it's made of wood with a little fabric cover. These ships are from the early 1960s. A classic sailplane.
